TL;DR: This work demonstrates that the photonic approach can deliver on its promise by digitizing a 41 GHz signal with 7.0 effective bits using a photonic ADC built from discrete components, a 4-5 times improvement over the performance of the best electronic ADCs which exist today.

TL;DR: A new monolithic silicon photonics technology suited for integration with standard bulk CMOS processes, which reduces costs and improves opto-electrical coupling compared to previous approaches is presented, which supports dense wavelength-division multiplexing with dozens of wavelengths per waveguide.

TL;DR: A new monolithic silicon-photonic technology is introduced, which uses a standard bulk CMOS process to reduce costs and improve energy efficiency, and the logical and physical implications of leveraging this technology in processor-to-memory networks are explored.

TL;DR: A monolithic photonic integration platform that leverages the existing state-of-the-art CMOS foundry infrastructure and enables intimate integration of large numbers of nanophotonic devices alongside high-density, high-performance transistors at low initial and incremental cost.

TL;DR: A novel reconfigurable, 'hitless' switch that does not perturb the express channels either before, during, or after reconfiguration, and multigigahertz operation of low-power, Mach-Zehnder silicon modulators as well as germanium-on-silicon photodiodes are presented.
